Good style with respect to what context?

If you have changing static content for the pages after the page break, you 
are obliged to start a new page sequence, so break-after= would not only be 
bad style but not give you what you want (unless you did some histrionics 
with retrieved markers).

If you have the same static content for the pages after the page break, you 
would be obliged to repeat it in a new page sequence if you didn't use 
break-after= so that would be wasteful.

If it is giving you what you want and not causing extra work, I don't see 
it as being "bad form" or necessarily "good style", but if you clarify the 
nature of your question that might solicit some comment.

I hope this helps.
